Not every one is going to be a winner, and some days you’ll be in no frame of mind to spot your best moment. In fact, what the narrator of The Anthologist doesn’t realise is that many of his gems – at least from a reader’s perspective – derive not from his best moments, but from his most painful memories and encounters. I don’t want to share my worst moments with you, because they have no basis in reality. They all take place inside my head, and all of them are lies. (I hope they are lies.)
